My Project

Students will be in a classroom adorned with inspiring growth mindset posters that encourage a positive outlook. During advisory sessions, they will engage in gratitude journaling, fostering a sense of appreciation. Through consistent daily practice, students will develop a growth mindset, which will motivate them to always strive toward reaching their full potential. Additionally, students will have access to a set of calculators, which they can use when needed for specific lessons. With these valuable tools and the motivating classroom environment, students will be able to learn more effectively and gratefully.
